Honda X-ADV

To counteract my dull daily commute, I’m planning lots of mini adventures throughout the year to see if the X-ADV really is as much fun to ride as it looks. I’ve booked a touring holiday to Bikefest Ireland which includes a chance to ride the spectacular Wild Atlantic Way, a day off-road training in mid-Wales, and with the #Ride5000Miles challenge to achieve, too, it’s going to be a busy year of riding… bring it on!alison.silcox@motorcyclenews.com

I was having a chat with one of the lads in the office about my X-Adv. He’d mentioned that, on his way to work that morning, he’d spotted an X-Adv on the road.
I thought I was the only one out there...

Mark, my other half, and I checked the weather report on Saturday night and realised Sunday was going to be ‘Scorchio’, so what better way to spend the day than out on the bikes.

First impressions count and after my first hectic week of riding the Honda X-ADV I’ve grown rather fond of the quirky, slightly odd looking machine. I say machine because I still haven’t worked out if...
